Fair Warning--Please Resteem

I'm gonna start downvoting obviously pirated content. In particular there's quite a bit of pirated porn in the NSFW group that I'll be regularly and consistently downvoting to oblivion. If you don't want to be downvoted, please stop posting it and remove what you've already posted (unless the payout for the post has already happened).

There are plenty of other places where you can post pirated material. IMHO, Steemit shouldn't be one of them.

Thank you Sean-king, it drives me crazy how much obvious copy-pasted porn there is. These people make more $ doing it than almost every other newcomer working hard.
Best 100% up-vote I've spent all week.

Agreed 1000% -- I don't care about piracy it and of itself because I don't believe in the legitimacy or practicality of intellectual property outside of a voluntary protocol like a blockchain.

My problem is the spamminess and unoriginality of it all. Thankfully, the beauty of this place is the upvotes actually do something and it's nearly impossible to really game the steem system. Downvote those fakers man!

people game the system with bots, and buying whale votes. Whats to stop me from creating two accounts, deposit
$100,000 Steam power in both and just upvoting each other 100%? This is one issue I have with steem. I think it can be gamed, is being gamed, and will continue to be gamed.

Absolutely! Whilst I am not against porn, I don't see the point in just pasting it all over Steemit. People like @sean-king put some fantastic artful nude posts up, and they are great to look at due to the thought of composition, and of course the lovely ladies ehem.

It's a good feeling when you are appreciated by someone like Sean and he plonks a huge upvote on to your content and then you see crap posts that make someone $100's or maybe $1000's a week just for spamming copied content.

Plagiarism is plagiarism, however you look at it and we should all work together, minnows and whales alike to stomp it out and keep our beloved Steemit free of Spam.

Thank you for finnally pointing this out , people were making money off of picture that should belong on other sights , it really just shows how many horny men are on the sight , they can move on and then we will see the best of the community, thanks for your time

I completely agree with this. I have commented on at least one post indicating that use of Suicide Girls content requires permission and attribution.

People work to produce their work, they should be paid for it. If you make money (Steem) for other people's efforts, you should pay them.

Whenever I use content from the web, I look for "public domain", request permission (where applicable), and directly cite my source. If any content creator asks me to remove their content, I happily edit it out of my post. This should be a general rule of etiquette when posting anywhere.

The plagiarists get butthurt when called out. 'Tis amusing to see. They think Steemit is their cash cow to be milked however they want. I would upvote this, but I found it too late and upvotes are barred in the last few hours.

ok well that was sad..you downvoted one of MY nsfw posts..none of which are plagiarized or spammy.... was it just cos its a video on pornhub?[i have my own pornhub channel] i thought every one would enjoy my princes lay ya fap video that i made for may 4th...

I couldn't open this the other day because of the NSFW (didn't want to risk it) but now that I am able to I'll say: GOOD!!

Steemit has always had a culture of original content, and I'd really like that to continue. I report / downvote plagiarism in my areas of interest when I come across it, and I hope everyone else will do it too.

thank you <3 as a performer of the adult industry..this make me smile. pirated content in nsfw is super upsetting to me. it makes me cringe watching people make tons on posts that they just copy pasted from someone elses hard fucking work. upvote!

I see alot of people who I assume take articles in their native language, and then Google translate it into english so that the Cheetah bot don't catch them plagiarizing.

Some guy posted an interesting article that I commented on since it's related to my cultural heritage, and when we started conversing, the guys native was CLEARLY not english and he copied and pasted the content from somewhere else. I looked at his profile and he's posting 10 articles an hour using Google translate.

When I started here, I posted some content that I thought was sharing but I quickly learned that this place ain't Facebook and that you can't just copy content and paste it in with a link to the credit.

I think some other minnows who are doing just that now, it took a little time to get used to this place and I'm always looking for free content that I am allowed to post up, such as images for my blogs but unless these folk who are posting porn are involved with the creation of the content then it's basically making money from someone else's creation.

People will hopefully learn quite quickly that this isn't the place to be earning from someone else's hard work...excuse the pun! :D

Thank you! I podcast with a woman who makes her living fulfilling people's fantasies in video performances. She's invested a lot into lighting, sets, and audio/video equipment. She's quite good at what she does, and she deserves to be fairly compensated for her work. That's why it's behind a paywall in the first place. It still manages to show up on free sites without her consent, unfortunately.

From what I understand, this platform does not support plagiarism. Thanks for enforcing that standard.

nice one @seak-king
you doing a greatjob. if not for your likes, some porn promoters will invade this community which should center more of thought provoking and educational plus aesthetic contents of value to both young minds and old, gentleman and ladies...even men and women of faith...
Pls downvote, cancel payout, delet and block them asap..let the cleaning begin... you just won my up vote...

I don't know if we also are allowed to use a gif or a photo from an actor for example.
Since steemit pays the articles/comments i think the ONLY think that we allowed for sure to use is CC0 licence related things.

Seriously, I'm glad someone came out and said this. The same gifs they're using are some of the same ones that were shuffled around 15 years ago. Those girls are middle aged suburban housewives now, with kids, and probably lucky husbands.

They copy from 4chan and post it here for upvotes. Swing that downvote hammer hard my friend! I'm right there with ya.
